	Exploit (computer security) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer security, an exploit is a piece of software that takes advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability in order to gain control of a computer system or allow privilege escalation or a denial of service attack.
		Exploits against client applications may also require some interaction with the user and thus may be used in combination with social engineering methods.
		Such exploits are referred to as 'zero day exploits' and to obtain access to such exploits is the primary desire of unskilled malicious attackers, often nicknamed script kiddies.

	Frequently Asked Questions
		Your particular computer may not seem to be a desirable target of a compromise attempt but any computer is attractive as a stepping stone or attack vehicle.
		In addition, computer vandals and their code don't need a reason to attack a specific computer...many are just out to do as much opportunistic mischief or damage as possible.
		Computer security is a compromise between safety and freedom just as are other areas of day to day life.

	Your computer security notes
		Computer security is the process of preventing and detecting unauthorized use of your computer.
		Having control of your computer gives them the ability to hide their true location as they launch attacks, often against high-profile computer systems such as government or financial systems.
		Intruders may be able to watch all your actions on the computer, or cause damage to your computer by reformatting your hard drive or changing your data.

	Computer Security
		In the physical world, a security professional hired to improve security at a facility will look over the property as if "casing the joint" to spot and shore up weaknesses before a criminal can exploit them.
		While a number of these tools are the same ones illegal intruders use, computer security professionals, university researchers, and even government agencies have lent them a measure of credibility because they have long recognized their value in providing a bird's-eye view of their own exposures.
		Strobe is a security tool that attempts to locate and build a picture of all ports on one or several hosts in a given network, using what is considered a very efficient algorithm that helps optimize speed.

	Home Computer Security
		Instead, it goes from your computer to another computer to still another computer and so on, eventually reaching his or her computer.
		For a computer, the repair cycle might have to be repeated until a patch completely fixes a problem.
		Just like the security guard who learns that anybody with a company photo ID is allowed to pass, you too can create firewall rules that allow traffic to pass without reviewing each packet each time.

	Computer System Security: A Primer
		The terms computer virus, hacker, and script kiddy have become part of the common lexicon, illustrating the pervasiveness of computer security issues.
		These security threats force IT administrators to not only monitor and defend their systems, but also to reassure users that the services they depend on and the data they entrust to those services are available, intact, and protected from unauthorized access.
		IT administrators can develop their security strategies by studying historical and contemporary attacks, appropriate defenses, and the evolving trends in the computer security industry.

	Home Network Security
		So while an attacker may not be able to single out your specific computer as belonging to you, they may at least be able to know that your service providers’ broadband customers are within a certain address range, thereby making your computer a more likely target than it might have been otherwise.
		Because site security on the Internet is interdependent, a compromised computer not only creates problems for the computer's owner, but it is also a threat to other sites on the Internet.
		Physical theft of a computer, of course, results in the loss of confidentiality and availability, and (assuming the computer is ever recovered) makes the integrity of the data stored on the disk suspect.

	Computer Viruses [encyclopedia] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In computer science a virus is a piece of program code that, like a biological virus, makes copies of itself and spreads by attaching itself to a host, often damaging the host in the process.
		The host is another computer program, often a computer operating system, which then infects the applications that are transferred to other computers.
		A small percentage of viruses are the result of computer code that operates in an unexpected manner, but the majority of viruses are programs deliberately written to interfere with, or damage, other programs or computer systems.

		Since Internet Explorer security defects are found constantly, this is likely to occur in May. Therefore, it is recommended that computer operators not install the "compatibility patch" as it will just delay the change a short time and there is always a possibility of complications when installing a patch.
		Security Engineering has been performing security vulnerability scanning on the JMU network (including the attached dial-up Campuslink home network) for open read/write shares on Windows computers for the past several years.
		One security measure that is presently effective at limiting or entirely preventing a compromise due to an operating mistake is to operate the computer using an account that will limit the resources available to the malicious program.
